I have a few neighbors I wouldn’t mind seeing gone…It’s almost too funny (in a strange way) I went the same route with the blinds. Then one day I happened to look up at the house while I was out with Pickles and realized the blinds worked at night so we couldn’t see out, but with a light on you could still see in. I was not a happy camper. This year I’ve brought wood blinds for the windows. Works like a charm, dark enough to keep the light in and the night out.

I loved the Miller quote. It’s so profound. I often find myself wondering if I have anything left in me for the page in front of me. I keep telling myself the chapters of my life are not done being written. (Hugs)indigo

I hope Saturday night was wonderful! How did you get a babysitter on Valentine’s??

Decorate something… anything. It will help. Make one small little corner of something beautiful that you love. It will not be that difficult to pack it up.

A rest, a break, a long, long drive?

I wish I had the answer, but like most writers, we all go through dry spells.

when I am stressed it is my anger that reigns over me and nothing, nothing good comes from that. It is only when I can sit, quietly, take a deep breath and listen to my heart, remember why it is that I do what I do and just let go that I find myself able to write again.

Honey, just keep breathing – and writing. I sympathize with your frustration and your blahs and all of it, but hasten to remind you that this, too, shall pass. It may not pass quickly enough for our collective liking, but still…

OH, I can’t wait to hear about Alice Sebold. Especially with Christine. I’m also lining up on the jealousy train…

And that quote from Henry Miller? Was EXACTLY what I needed to read tonight. Thank you, Jennifer.

Your muse is just resting. She’s just off your shoulder, ready to perch at any moment.

So my commenting creativity, which was negligible in the first place, has failed me and all I can say now is “AMEN!”
